“Before I met your dad, I lived in Paris for 7 months.”

I never knew this one sentence from my mom would completely change my life AND my career path. 

It was just something she said on the phone one Sunday, completely out of nowhere.

If You’ve Been Feeling Like Your Best Years Are Behind You, You Will Benefit From Reading This

“What do you mean? Why?” I asked.

And just like that, the next 40 minutes flew by.

I realized something in that moment: I knew her only as “Mom.” I didn’t really know her as a 24-year-old with big, reckless dreams.

That’s when I had the idea.

Yes, we could continue to discuss the weather and our favorite TV shows or....

I could ask her one simple question about her past during our calls and get to know her deeper.

Know who she was before she was my mom.

The New Tradition That Changed Everything

The next week, I opened my laptop before our call.

“Okay,” I said. “I want to write down your story.”

That became our new tradition. Every Sunday, I’d ask her something different. I typed everything into a Word document while she talked. 

She surprised me with stories that didn’t match the steady person I thought I knew.

After a few calls, I was looking at the pages in a Word document and couldn’t help but blurt out:

“Mom, your life is so interesting – it feels like I’m reading a book!” I said.

She laughed and mentioned that she always wanted to write a book about her younger years.

That’s when I realized something shocking: 

Who’s stopping her from actually doing it?

After a few weeks, she started telling her friends about our little habit.

When she told me about their reaction, I was stunned.

Some said they wished their kids would do something like that. Others admitted they wouldn’t even know where to begin telling their own stories.

And some were afraid that their life wasn’t as interesting. But I knew that every single person had something to tell – something that their loved ones would love to know. 

All they need is the right questions. 

So I started paying attention to their comments. Because as simple as our little system was, it wasn’t effortless. 

If I missed a call, nothing happened – another part of my mom’s life would remain hidden. 

And I kept thinking: wanting to preserve your story shouldn’t require a tech-savvy child.

The Beginning of Memowrite

After telling all of this to my husband, we started creating Memowrite.

And little by little, it started taking shape.  

We wanted to be completely sure that Memowrite would be perfect for people over 50.

Our parents were our first testers – and we added everything they asked for:

• 50 guided questions that spark memories.

• Speech-to-text functionality.

• Easy way to add most cherished photos.

• Book proofreading and design handbuilt by us.

Now we’re sure that this product is ideal for those who want to share their life story in the easiest way possible.

Here’s How Memowrite Works

I jokingly say that this product is like Facebook reels – once you start using it, you can’t look away. 

All you need to do is to answer 50 simple questions about your life. 

Memowrite is designed to pull out your natural voice – the way you actually tell stories. Your writing won’t read like a resume.

And it’s all about building a life story you can pass down, effortlessly, by only spending 15 minutes a day.

In weeks, you will receive a bookstore-quality keepsake – custom cover, thick high-quality pages, proofread and edited by our team. 

Why I’m Proud of Memowrite

I think the most important part happened way before Memowrite’s launch.

When I held the first printed book, my mom’s life story, she said one thing that made all this work worth it.

“I didn’t realize how much I wanted this,” she said. “It feels good to be seen.”

Memowrite was never just about printing a bookstore-quality keepsake.

It was always about connection with your loved ones and getting to know each other better. 

The best part?

What started as a simple project with my mom became a complete blueprint for turning memories into a book.

And today, it’s yours — for a fraction of the price.
